The road ahead. This month we are sharing information about the TSRC project’s progress and challenges, switching traffic onto the new Postmans Ridge Road realignment at Postmans Ridge and getting ready to install the project’s first set of permanent traffic lights at Gowrie Junction.

The Bunya Park Scout Group is all about encouraging the youth of Toowoomba to play an active and constructive role in the community.

Thanks to the Nexus Together sponsorship program, the scouts can continue to abseil, canoe and explore to their hearts content, with funds going towards improving the group’s safety and first aid equipment.

We are expecting a delay of around four to seven months for the completion of the TSRC.

While the project is progressing well overall, the delay is due to a complex geological issue under one of the embankments in the Ballard area.

The issue has resulted in us changing the construction methodology and building the foundation of the embankment from a deeper level. As a result, extensive additional earthworks are now required in a small section of the project.

All other scheduled activities for the project will continue as planned.

We will continue to keep the community informed about these works, and provide updates as the extent of delays and construction impacts are known.

I hope those additional earthworks are ‘bulk earthworks’ im keen to get back on a padfoot roller out there again.......😔

And NOW you discover this????? Why didnt NEXUS consult with locals??? A JOKE!!! Have you discovered the slip underlying yet??? I bet there are underlying issues. !!!! This area is so fragile...i can only foresee so many setbacks in this highly unstable area...

Thank you for keeping us up to date. These things happen then you just have to work throught them. Love seeing the work you all are doing we drive around & check the propgress every couple of months & am very impressed with the work.

That's a shame. I'm so looking forward to those trucks not coming through Toowoomba.

Cant core and drill everywhere. Hit shitty ground on most earthwork projects, cant see all the ground conditions!
The only reason you know they hit crap ground is cause they have a facebook account for the project.. hit crap pretty much every bulk earthworks project i have been on.

Bugger.

Any details available on the “complex geological issue” and why extensive additional earthworks are now required???

Would love to hear more about the science of this issue... am a geography teacher using bypass as a case study to examine human and environment.

The TSRC project has four testing labs across site which employ around 30 full time testers. We regularly conduct more than 100 different types of tests on concrete, water, rocks, soil, gravel, steel and bitumen.

In regards to your testing of concrete, how many testing samples that you guys have done in the last 2-3 months have come back showing a fail and/or issues? And in the instances they have come back showing a fail, what is the procedure of correcting it once it has already been poured?
(And yes I have a reason for asking this question which directly relates to concrete that was used for this project. I'm interested to know the response to my original questions first.)
